The main downside of paper ballots is the slowness and contrivance of the process. I think it's a phenomenon that's present in most countries that don't have mandatory voting law to see very low participation, especially with

You can bet money on the fact that when electronic ballots will have the similar tenure as paper ones, they will be equally secure. I think Schneier, and possibly everyone else, is overlooking one simple thing, nothing needs to be perfect o

How is this related to crypto currencies in any way? Any web API can allow multiple clients so I'm a bit lost at why you're so excited about this.

That would be a breaking API change in my opinion. I bet you the length criterion will still apply for path patterns that don't include placeholders, even if not specifically mentioned in the proposal. [edit] Heh, I guess you'd kn

Every legislative body has the option to try again on things they want to pass as we've seen in the US in the past year. At least the council doesn't have the capability to pass the laws without the cooperation of the EU parliamen

I'm not sure if you're trying to say that this output is better, but in my opinion it is very much not. I don't think that someone that wrote "you fit into me", would use the abundance of qualificatives that this te

When I started there were very few implementations that were going for something as general as I wanted, so I had to improvise a lot and invent concepts about how to handle activities. That being said, I'm not sure what you mean by rul

Yes, sadly the interest from operators has not been very high. :D I'm not terribly upset though, as I can't continue development at my own leisure, instead of the hectic pace that a very popular one requires. [edit] Regarding why

If you're interested in an ActivityPub that works like that, I work on one called FedBOX[1]. It doesn't have clients at the moment, but that's how I planned to have it used. https://github.com/go-ap/fedbo

That is wrong, not everything is public on the Fediverse. Usually the content which is published with the Public namespace as a recipient is public, the rest of the activities are only disseminated to just the recipient's and author&#x

I agree that the capability might be present, but you forget how strong a stance the EU countries have for PII. A government that would abuse an identity mechanism would immediately be public knowledge and receive universal opprobrium insid

How about EC signatures? My Yubikey (which I imagine is a bit more sophisticated than a NFC tag can be) is said to be able to hold Ed2519 keys and use them for signing, but I was never able to actually do that. :)

I don't have the knowledge of those volumes of political science and modern investigation systems where electronic identity can be applied to greater negative effect. That's why I was asking for more concrete examples instead of h

No, the topic at hand is a cryptographer finding vulnerabilities in a communication protocol and the originating body incorporating the findings (hopefully) in their fixes. And since it's about France, what does that have to do with Ch

Digital identity is the key for scaling democracy up, decreasing bureaucracy and integrating the act of being a citizen in day to day life, instead of being a chore that everyone complains about. It could allow for abuse for sure, but what

Could you please expand how any of the findings, or any attempts at digital ID are about surveillance and totalitarianism? Your post, as it is now, is brandishing big and scary words based on flimsy assumptions and without any real backup.

Only one of the calls in the block is an actual irrecoverable error that you should propagate up to the parent caller. If you just append if err != nil blocks everywhere without reasoning about the context you're probably doing it wron

That's why I said "almost always". It's not like any branch of bicycle racing has weight classes. You always compete with people in your category no matter how much power they generate or how much they weigh.

The pro peloton doesn't use an ELO system. There is a points system based on races placement, but outside of the team promotion/demotion every three years it's basically useless, especially for the individual riders.

Isn't that very similar to how real life racing is? The light riders almost always are at a disadvantage.

I fail to understand people that can't be bothered to empathize with other use cases than their own. Game development usually has a large number of binary assets that need to be in source control, does that sound like a reasonable use,

Because it's noise. Finding good art on the internet is already hard with just humans producing it, when the barrier to entry is crafting a prompt, the amount of shitty end-results will drown everything else out. And this is before con

I'm not sure if your question is rhetorical, but Go doesn't have the concept of compiled library that you can link to another binary. So in Go you make available the library's source code, and the end-user will download it at
